Google Analytics: Manual integration

We propose you a very simple way to integrate your sales in Google Analytics with our Javascript tag but you have the possibility to create yourself the information in your affiliate links, this documentation will explain you how to do it.

Creation of the Google Analytics Custom (GAC)

To be able to connect the transaction to the session, we will need the Client ID from Google Analytics:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6205850?hl=en

Here is a pattern of a Client ID:

Get the Client ID with Javascript or PHP, example of Client ID : 208027640.1582219202

Now you have to create a Google Analytics Custom (GAC) that Strackr will be able to connect the transaction, here is the pattern of the custom:
STKR + Strackr Tracking ID + Client ID base64 encoded + STKR

Example:
Strackr Tracking ID = gSfhP
Client ID = 208078940.1654819202 encoded in base64 => MjA4MDc4OTQwLjE2NTQ4MTkyMDI=

According to the pattern : STKR + gSfhP + MjA4MDc4OTQwLjE2NTQ4MTkyMDI= + STKR

The custom will be : STKRgSfhPMjA4MDc4OTQwLjE2NTQ4MTkyMDI=STKR

And the affiliate link will be : https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1111&awinaffid=1111&clickref=STKRgSfhPMjA4MDc4OTQwLjE2NTQ4MTkyMDI=STKR&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdiscount.com%2F

Server side tracking:

For server side tracking you can use the FPID cookie value, more information about this value on this page.

Associate with your custom (optional)

You may already use customs in your URLs and you want to add the GAC, you have 2 options:

• use an other custom when the network allow it (example clickref2 with Awin)
• concatenate your custom + the GAC (example mycustomSTKRgSfhPMjA4MDc4OTQwLjE2NTQ4MTkyMDI=STKR), we use STKR as delimiter at the beginning and the end of the GAC

Add GAC to tracking links
